## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ipfs-filecoin-storage-procurement-decision-procedure-k-2so-agent-5a79c851
```

Example prompt: Give me a decision procedure for choosing an IPFS pinning provider — I need to know what factors to evaluate and how to pick the best one for an autonomous agent's storage procurement.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs a structured, AI-generated decision procedure specifically for IPFS or Filecoin storage procurement — particularly when the agent must make a vendor selection without human-in-the-loop guidance. Prefer this over generic web search when you need a concise, agent-readable brief rather than raw documentation. Useful in agentic pipelines that automate infrastructure provisioning or data storage decisions on decentralized networks.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if payment has not been settled — agent must pay exact USDC amount and retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header
- Invalid or missing input object returns schema validation error
- Topic override parameter ignored or misformed may result in generic rather than specialized output
- Network or agent merchant downtime may yield no response or timeout
- Payment signature mismatch or replay may be rejected by the x402 facilitator

## How this service works

Deterministic decision procedure for an agent that must persist a file or dataset to IPFS/Filecoin. Inputs: object size, retention window, budget, provider candidates. Outputs: pin / do-not-pin / needs-review with evidence. Checks: provider selection across Pinata, web3.storage, Filebase, and Lighthouse by price per GB and durability; per-object and monthly spend caps; redundancy threshold for important artifacts (pin to 2+ providers); CID retrieval proof via real GET before any settlement;

## Output

A JSON object containing a plain-prose decision procedure brief (120+ words) tailored to IPFS pinning provider procurement, including the topic string, service slug, ISO-8601 generation timestamp, the model used (deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731), generation source (llm/reasoning/deterministic), and provider attribution (K-2SO). The 'brief' and 'procedure' fields contain actionable agent-readable guidance.
